Did you happen to notice the full moon Friday and Saturday nights. That full moon has for centuries determined the date of Easter. Our Lord rose from the dead on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Our spring equinox is on March 20 or 21 of each year. It is the day when both night and day are nearly equal in length. Easter changes every year because the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 20 always changes. That Sunday nearly 2000 years ago was the day our Lord resurrected from the dead.

I never minded that he resurrected from dead on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox. Haven't even never though why the day every time changes. Thanks it is very interesting to know.
